Chapter 41 (1/2)
Although only ten people were recruited at the beginning, thirteen people were eventually recruited. Donne felt it was just a small matter, but Fiona didn't feel so.
”Lord, you can't do this again.”
Fiona was helpless: ”as an aristocrat, even if you say it yourself, you can't change it casually. If you are known by other aristocrats, you will be laughed at. At the beginning, you can only be ten people. Life is so cruel.”
”Cut, who cares about that? The first thing a noble should learn is to be shameless.”
Don en chuckled: ”besides, don't you think their smiles are beautiful?”
Fiona looked at the thirteen people. She was very thin. When she stood up, she seemed to have exhausted her strength. Her clothes were so worn, but their smiling faces with tears really touched people's hearts.
That's the smile of hope in despair.
She nodded involuntarily.
”Yes, so I can't help cutting three more people.”
Donne sighed, leaving Fiona, with an expression ”I'm so kind and kind. Come and praise me.”.
Fiona just didn't see it, snorted and asked suspiciously, ”you really didn't stay because they were all girls?”
Donne looked calm: ”of course.”
Fiona looked at Donne suspiciously. After a moment, she waved her hand and said, ”whatever you want, just get out of the way. I'm going to give gold coins to the guard.”
Donne looked up and saw that Elsa had come with the guard.
As soon as these guys heard that the gold coins promised by Donne were finally going to be fulfilled, they were all excited and couldn't wait.
But
”Danny, can you throw the bag away first?”
”No! I'm going to pick Mint after receiving the gold coins!”
Danny said, looking around nervously: ”yesterday's silver coins were taken away by my mother. Today, the Lord gives bonuses, but gold coins! If my mother takes them away again, I'll really cry.”
There was a roar of laughter around.
”Well, stop laughing!”
Elsa scolded, and the guard immediately calmed down. She continued, ”line up one by one, Miss Fiona, call the one who has the name to come forward and get it!”
Gold coins... Gold coins are going to be spent again
Fiona sighed, looked at the book and cried, ”Uncle Depp.”
”Coming!”
Depp's face was filled with joy.
”Uncle Depp, you killed three mountain bandits in the anti bandit operation. The monthly salary and operation bonus are 13 gold coins.”
When Fiona handed the thirteen golden gold coins to Uncle Depp, uncle Depp and other members of the guard were stunned.
Looking at the gold coins in Uncle Depp's hands, they all swallowed their saliva and stared straight.
The gods are on! They have never seen such a large sum of money!
When Donne said that casually, they didn't take it seriously. They just thought that Donne said it to motivate them - it's not the first time that treacherous aristocrats have done so among the poetry reciters.
However, unexpectedly, Donne realized his promise!
”Long live your Lord!”
Uncle Depp's hands trembled with excitement and put away the gold coins. He solemnly saluted: ”I Depp hereby swear to the gods that I will shed every drop of blood to guard Ellington and the Lord!”
”Nonsense!”
Donne stared at Depp and said with great dissatisfaction, ”is your mouth blessed by Ms. disaster? I wish there was a war in Ellington?”
Depp's face stiffened and said with a smile: ”well... I'm just too excited...”
Yes, in fact, everyone doesn't want war. They prefer not to take up arms for a lifetime.
But who is right about the future?
With one gold coin after another, the members of the guard paid more respect to Donne and were willing to become his followers.
It's worth your life to follow such a generous and trustworthy Lord!
Half an hour later, when everyone got their bonuses, it was Elsa's turn.
”Elsa, five mountain bandits, plus bonus and salary, a total of 20 gold coins.”
”Hey?”
Elsa was surprised, ”isn't it fifteen?”
